Hong Kong's marine life is potentially amazingly vibrant. Very, very small pockets still exist that show how wonderful this could be.   However the reality is that Hong Kong marine environment is at a major crisis point, a fishing industry that continues to decimate the environment and continues to be supported by the government as well as the unsustainable habits of the Hong Kong seafood consumer is creating a marine environment that is literally at the point of collapse.  But it is not yet TOO late.

We are very concerned that not enough is been done to protect Hong Kong's marine life and marine environment.  It is out of site out of mind, I suppose but is an incredibly short sighted view. 

Specifically we are concerned that the Hong Kong government is not acting decisively to ensure the future of a wonderful resource for the whole of Hong Kong's population.

Please do sign this partition so that we can start to influence the government in a positive way.

We the undersigned urgently request the AFCD to enact meaningful protection for Hong Kong's marine environment and for it's potentially vibrant marine life.  Specifically we ask the AFCD and the Hong Kong government to undertake the following actions:



  1. Setup fully protected marine reserves in extensive areas of Hong Kong's waters, where all different types of marine life are able to thrive for the benefit of a wide sphere of residents and visitors.

  2. Stop harmful trawling in Hong Kong waters.

  3. Ensure that measures are taken to reduce the current critical problem of overfishing in Hong Kong waters.

  4. Extend the education of Hong Kong consumers to make informed decisions about what seafood is sustainably caught or managed. 

We thank you for your time to read this petition and look forward to hearing about positive actions.
